How to link to a certain JIRA version if I know the human-readable string

Question

We have versions like 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 etc. and I would like to add links from our DokuWiki wiki to JIRA automatically.

It's pretty simple for issues where I just parse the wiki text and whenever I see PROJECTKEY-123, I take that and append it to the main URL like http://ourjira.com/browse/PROJECTKEY-123.

However, with versions the URLs are something like http://ourjira.com/browse/PROJECTKEY/fixforversion/10000 and that number is just an ID, so our 2.0 will be 10002, 3.0 will be 10003 etc.

Is there a way to somehow construct the link if I know I need to link to a human-readable version "x.y"?

You could possibly just link to the issue navigator, then you wouldn't need to do any rest calls:

/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&jqlQuery=fixVersion+%3D+1.0+AND+project+%3D+PROJECTKEY
